Crytek Teases New Immolator Monster Coming to ‘Hunt: Showdown’

Published

on

Crytek’s Hunt: Showdown is still humming along in Early Access with new features and fixes being added. One big update is a new monster by the name of Immolator, which you can check out briefly in a recent Twitch stream by Crytek.

No word on when this update with the Immolator will be live, but according to designer Bence Kovacs, you’ll be in for a challenge. The Immolator appears as a charred, walking corpse, screams a lot, and likes to blow stuff up.

When it detects movement it will charge, and when it’s shot or stabbed, it’ll burst into flames (You’ll be getting a new attachment for your mosin that allows you to melee it without being set on fire). Just to add to the scares, The Immolator can also open doors.

And yes, if you’re wondering if you can use the monster to your advantage to take out other hunters that are keen on taking your goodies, you can. As mentioned, The Immolator screams a lot, which can attract other enemies, and when burning he leaves a trail of fire that will ignite those monsters if they happen to walk into it.

As mentioned, there’s no word on when this update will hit, but for those on the test servers, you can expect it to show up soon.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
